Our Secret

Oh gosh. I've had to keep this secret for so long, I think its turning stale in my brain...

All stanley's fault! Everytime we do something egg-citing, i have to keep mum about it until like A MONTH later. Bah.

But! I'm still very egg-cited now! (although i think the egg-citement would present itself more obviously had i been blogging about this a month back.) Well, the youth.sg project is coming to an end, which is sad.. I enjoyed the entire process very much! The good thing about the end... is that the product of our hard work can finally meet the rest of the world OFFICIALLY!

I did a song with King Kong Jane titled "Our Secret". We didn't want to make a complicated song that had multiple meanings of one simple truth in life. That we are all here for a purpose, we push forward each day not simply by obtaining nutrients and oxygen to keep our body functioning but also by the motivations in life that bring us through.

We wrote a song for ourselves. Not just the youths really.

A simple tune, simple lyrics.

A wakeup call for myself really.

Its called "Our Secret" and I really hope you'll like it.

I also really dig Firefight and Joakim's song. Love it. So catchy, and very sexy. hahaha...!!



Go download the tunes FREELY on http://www.youth.sg/content/view/6782/54/ now!

Pass it around as much as you want(oh please do), and I hope you find something in one of these songs that strikes a chord with how you're living your life.




And also check out the 'behind-the-scenes' of our song recording here! and HERE!





We just did our MTV shoot with Boo Junfeng as well... and it was super tiring because i didn't get any sleep the previous night, but i had SUCH a good time. I loved it. I think Boo Junfeng is a great person to work with... I haven't had the chance to watch one of Junfeng's works but just working with him makes me feel comfortable and in safe hands. Do keep a lookout for this name. I'm pretty confident he's going to have some great compositions in the days to come.

And of course, King Kong Jane, they're a great band, great people. They never fail to crack me up with their antics, even when I feel as though I have gone through hell and back and i desperately need sleep.

Summary:

1) Download and spam your friend's email with our songs

2) Do listen to it a few times and see if any of what we've just sung echoes in your heart?

3) Watch out for our MTV ( in the making. )

4) Final youth.sg concert on the 27th of March at Homeclub... come and see the bands and Us.

5) Mark it down. 27th of March.


I hope this is not too much for you all to handle in one post. (that's why this is in small prints.)

But i absolutely have to share and rave.

Our documentary "downstairs" has been selected as a featured film in the main festival body of the 3rd Singapore Indie Doc Fest 2009, held at The Substation Theatre from the 8th till 11th of March.

I am very happy. Because they point of making this documentary was to impact. And its not going to impact ANYONE if it doesn't get screened. This is the chance for you all to go take a look... and I really hope you do. Not just for me. I don't earn a cent. But the documentary was done with a simple purpose of wanting people to watch it and to take home a little something from it. So please. Do.

Mark down 8th till 16th of March as well alright? That's when you can go "downstairs".

Thank you for reading all the way till here. Love you!
